Agree

I believe human life has inherent value and deserves dignity and respect. At the same time, these issues are complex and personal, and policy approaches must balance compassion, individual rights, and access to appropriate medical care.

The school’s role should be to support student well-being, safety, and continued access to education without judgment. Schools should provide accurate information, counseling, and connections to appropriate community resources while respecting student privacy and family involvement.

Disagree

Addressing student loan debt is about expanding opportunity and improving economic mobility, not shifting blame. Solutions should be balanced and paired with long-term reforms that improve affordability and accountability in higher education.

Government has a fundamental responsibility to ensure equitable funding for public education from Pre-K through higher education, as it is the foundation of opportunity and workforce development. Investment should include strong support for educators, safe and modern facilities, and the services students need to succeed.

Separation of church and state in public schools means maintaining neutrality regarding religion, ensuring that no student is pressured to adopt or reject any belief. Schools should provide an inclusive environment where all students can learn freely without religious influence or discrimination.

Disagree

Immigration enforcement should prioritize humane, targeted, and lawful approaches that protect communities while respecting civil rights and due process. Policies should strengthen community trust rather than undermine it.

Agree

Schools should ensure students have access to factual, age-appropriate health information and resources that support their well-being. Partnerships with qualified providers can help students make informed decisions while respecting the role of families and maintaining appropriate boundaries for schools.

Strongly Agree

Clear and fair consequences are essential for maintaining a safe, respectful learning environment where all students can focus on learning. Disciplinary approaches should also be restorative and equitable, helping students understand behavior while supporting their growth.

Agree

Students should learn America’s founding documents to understand the principles, history, and responsibilities of citizenship. Civic education should encourage critical thinking and informed engagement so students can thoughtfully participate in democracy.

Disagree

The U.S. Department of Education plays an important role in supporting equity, funding, and national standards that help ensure opportunity across states. While local control is important, eliminating the department could reduce support for underserved students and increase disparities.

Including abstinence, consent, contraceptive methods, human reproductive system/anatomy, physical and emotional health outcomes, stages of pregnancy and fetal development, sexual orientation, gender identity, and medically accurate information regarding pregnancy options where appropriate. I support age-appropriate, medically accurate sex education that prioritizes student safety and informed decision-making while respecting parents as partners in education.

I believe public schools should prioritize strong academic achievement while also helping students develop character, responsibility, and an understanding of how to participate in their communities. Preparing students to be informed, respectful, and engaged citizens is an important part of education.

Agree

I believe families deserve quality options, and healthy competition can encourage innovation and improvement. At the same time, my focus is on strengthening our public schools, ensuring they are well-resourced, high-performing, and the best choice for our students and families.

Disagree

I believe schools have a responsibility to ensure fairness, safety, and dignity for all students. These are complex issues that should be addressed thoughtfully, with clear policies that respect every student while maintaining safe and appropriate environments.

I believe in spirituality and strong personal values rooted in integrity, respect, compassion, and service. These principles guide how I treat others and my commitment to serving the community with honesty and accountability.

Strongly Agree

I strongly believe parents are the primary stakeholders in their child’s education and should have the right and responsibility to be informed and involved in decisions related to their child’s health and education. Schools work best when they partner with families in a transparent and respectful way.

Strongly Agree

I strongly believe in treating every student and individual with dignity and fairness. All children deserve to be judged by their character, effort, and actions, and given equal opportunities to succeed regardless of background.

Strongly Disagree

I believe marriage is a deeply personal commitment that should be respected equally under the law for all consenting adults. I support equal rights for same-sex couples and believe government recognition should reflect fairness and inclusion for all families.

Disagree

I believe schools should ensure students have access to appropriate mental health support and services in partnership with families and qualified professionals. These are complex issues that should be handled through proper clinical and educational support systems.

Agree

I support school libraries and trust licensed, certified educators and librarians to select age-appropriate materials that support literacy and educational development. Professional standards and established review processes should guide these decisions in schools.

Neutral

I believe all eligible voters should have fair and equal access to participate in elections. Election policies should ensure both accessibility and integrity, and those decisions are best addressed at the appropriate levels of government.
